Amie Gray, a 34-year-old personal trainer and head ladies coach for Dorset Football Club, was murdered on Bournemouth's Durley Chine Beach.

Gray's friend was seriously injured by a knife-wielding assailant.

A 17-year-old boy from Lancashire was initially arrested but has been released without charge after being eliminated from inquiries.

Police are now searching for a hooded suspect captured on CCTV.

Gray was a beloved sports coach and mother, prompting tributes from friends and colleagues.

The local community is concerned about rising crime and antisocial behavior.

Officers are conducting extensive inquiries and urge the public to provide any information.

The beach area remains closed for investigation, with increased police presence for community safety.

MP Sir Conor Burns hopes this was an isolated incident of violence.
